The plan was submitted on 25 November and the Minister for Health has 21 days in which to consider it. My understanding is that the period of 21 days will expire on 16 December and between now and then I expect the Minister to bring the plan to the Government with his recommendations for what he intends to do with it. Thereafter the plan will be published and I expect that there will be some arrangement to discuss it, either in the House or one of its committees.
